There ain’t gonna’ be (another) rematch.
With a blistering right hand in round six, Arthur Abraham retained his WBO Super Middleweight belt on Saturday and ended his personal war with Robert Stieglitz in their fourth and presumably final fight. It was a roller coaster for both men with Abraham winning a pair of decisions that could have went either way and Stieglitz scoring a stoppage in their second outing.
It was another physical outing. For fans that have followed the series, it was a fitting, entertaining end. Both men showed a little of their age, moving just a hair slower than when it all started in 2012. Abraham moves on. Whether Stieglitz continues his career or not remains to be seen. In a year that has already seen the retirements of Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler, there is a real feeling of the guard changing at 168 lbs.
